The newest class of NSU Centurions to be honored include Holly Cunningham Sisk, 1986 NSU Alumna and Vian High School graduate; AG of the Cherokee Nation Chad Harsha, JD, former Secretary of Natural Resources of the Cherokee Nation, 2009 Alumnus; Dr. Alan Herrin, Ph.D., M.S., 1958 Alumnus; William “Bill” Langley Jr., NSU Foundation board member, 1969 Alumnus; Mr. Bobby J.

A NSU Centurion is an individual whose dedication to helping others in their community and beyond any physically imposed boundaries, has made a notably positive impact during the course of NSU’s well documented history.

The prestigious award has been given to NSU faculty, alumni, staff, students or any member of the NSU community, past or present who has affected the life of the nominator, the Northeastern community or the public at large.
